HLED 2901 - Public Health Education Practicum

Hours: 4
This field practicum provides an opportunity for students to gain experience with health education-related jobs and public health/community settings in which health educators practice, for the purpose of gaining practical “hands-on” experience in settings which might be appropriate for future internship and/or careers. Students will also become familiar with professional public health and health education organizations, as well as credentialing processes operating in the public health professions. Students spend approximately 84 hours in on-site observation and assistance with two or three community agency/organization health education activities, as well as conducting individual research regarding the assets, challenges and unique aspects of practicing health education in different settings, and regarding the five core knowledge areas basic to public health, i.e. biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health sciences, health services administration, and social & behavioral sciences.. Practicum sites are arranged by students in advance of the practicum. Scheduling is arranged individually. All seven areas of responsibility and related competencies for NCHEC may potentially be applied.
Notes: This course has an additional fee.
